How I Met Your Mother / 8 p.m. Monday, CBS

Perhaps it wasn’t always classic television, but, through nine seasons, the sitcom amused and
moved us — and launched many silly catchphrases. Now, the gang suits up for the hourlong season
finale. If all goes well, Barney (Neil Patrick Harris, left) and Robin (Cobie Smulders) will get
hitched, and Ted (Josh Radnor) will finally meet his one true love (Cristin Milioti). We can’t
wait.
